Alright, let’s talk about this “high and mighty perhaps” thing, like those fancy folks in the city newspapers are always going on about. I ain’t no scholar, mind you, but I reckon I can make sense of it same as anyone.
What’s this “high and mighty perhaps” all about? Well, from what I gather, it’s something them crossword puzzle folks like to use. You know, them puzzles with all the squares and you gotta fill in words? Yeah, that’s the one. Seems like “high and mighty perhaps” is a clue, and you gotta figure out the word that fits. Sounds like a whole lot of fuss for a little word, if you ask me.
- It’s a clue in them city newspapers.
- Folks gotta guess a word based on it.
- Appears in somethin’ called the “NYT Crossword”.
Now, they say this here clue popped up on July 5th, 2024, and then again on July 6th. Must be a popular one, huh? Or maybe them city folk just ain’t got nothin’ better to do than make up the same puzzles over and over. I tell you what, back on the farm, we didn’t have time for such nonsense. We had real work to do, sunup to sundown.
They also say this word you gotta guess has got five letters in it. Five letters! That ain’t much, is it? I could probably count that many on one hand, even with my arthritis flaring up. Makes you wonder what kinda word it could be. Something fancy, I bet. Them city folk, they always like to use big words when a small one would do just fine.
So, what could this five-letter word be? Well, I ain’t got the answer key, but I reckon it’s gotta be somethin’ that means “high and mighty.” You know, like someone who thinks they’re better than everyone else. Someone with their nose up in the air, lookin’ down on the rest of us. I’ve met a few of them in my time, let me tell you. Always thinkin’ they’re so smart, just ’cause they got a fancy education and wear them shiny shoes.
I ain’t sayin’ education is a bad thing, mind you. It’s good to learn, to know things. But it don’t make you no better than anyone else. We’re all just folks tryin’ to make our way in this world. And some of them “high and mighty” types could use a good dose of hard work and plain common sense. That’d knock ’em down a peg or two, I reckon.
Anyways, back to this puzzle clue. If I had to guess, I’d say maybe the word is “snooty” or maybe “proud”. Them seem like the kind of words them city folk would use. Or maybe it’s somethin’ even fancier, somethin’ I ain’t never even heard of. Wouldn’t surprise me none. They got a whole different language up there in the city.
But you know what? At the end of the day, it’s just a word. And whether you can solve a crossword puzzle or not, it don’t really matter. What matters is bein’ a good person, workin’ hard, and treatin’ folks right. That’s what I always say. And if them “high and mighty” folks can’t understand that, well, that’s their problem, not mine.
So, there you have it. My take on this “high and mighty perhaps” business. Might not be what them city slickers expect, but it’s the truth as I see it. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got chores to do. Them chickens ain’t gonna feed themselves, you know.
And one more thing, if you ever find yourself stuck on one of them crossword puzzles, don’t you go frettin’ about it. Just put it down and go for a walk, or bake yourself a pie. Life’s too short to be worryin’ over a bunch of squares and letters. That’s what I say.
